Notes. Insertion of NO into transition metal–aryl bonds: formation of zirconium complexes containing the [ON(R)NO]–(R = Ph or p-MeC6H4) ligand
Abstract
Reaction of [Zr(η-C5H5)2Ph2] with NO in benzene afforded [Zr(η-C5H5)2Ph{ON(Ph)NO}]. Treatment of [Zr(η-C5H5)2Cl2] with Ag[ON(R)NO](R = Ph or p-MeC6H4) gave [Zr(η-C5H5)2Cl{ON(R)NO}], whereas with [NH4][ON(C6H4Me-p)NO], only [Zr{ON(C6H4Me-p)NO}4] was formed.
